i want to work in an airport.

anything but a janitor.

will a degree in computer science be of any use? i kinda like the idea of waking up early in the morning, smoking a fat spliff then working in a place filled with bare freshies walking about aimlessly.

seriously, i've seen chavs working at airports (and i love chavs). so are there any particular requirements? and how bad is the pay for your average airport job

They say that even to work in the duty free shops this is highly competitive.
I just can't be bothered to write a CV and email it

i'm looking for a job in the airport where i'll be surrounded by people, and where i get to use a computer. oh, and must have a pay of £30000, but i'll go down to £25000 if i'm asking for too much. i'll probably make the rest of my money illegally.

Airports are great. I work part-time in a bakery at Copenhagen Airport, and even though I'm not planning to stay there forever it's much better than working at a "regular" bakery.

what's the pay like babes

I wouldn't trust you with a pocket calculator, let alone a computer.

No idea if you can pwn the competition. My White friend with a bunch of qualifications got turned down to work at McDonalds yet a bunch of freshies without a qualification to their name work there,

you never know about anything these days

lol, i thought you were indian because you used the word 'freshies'. sorry

Basically i said you should have went Heathrow airport as most people I know from Southall/Hayes work there mainly as baggage handlers and run-staff as they have family or friends whoe reccomend them to their bosses when a position is open.

a freshy = somebody fresh off the boat, e.g. an indian who walks the streets in sandals and has a strong indian accent is a freshy. that's what it means in london anyway.

is there no apply for a job section or w/e on the heathrow website? or any other airport? seriously, getting high then doing some sh;t in the airport would be an amazing life.
